Dreaded lineup help question Topic

Ok, so I took over CSU San Bernardino and am having quite a bit of trouble trying to fill out my depth chart for this team. There is so much diversity that is making it hard.
Offense: Motion
Defense: HCP/Man (with only average IQ's in both)

So for the press I want Ath and Spd and Def is now needed,  and along with man you want good Ath and Def. The problem is mostly trying to figure out who should play PG.

My first inclination is a depth chart like this

PG: Christensen, Lewis, Schmalz
SG: Stanley, Robertson, Huffman
SF: Schmalz, Huffman, Stenger
PF: Carpenter, Maynard, Balch
C: Bach, Balch, Maynard

This setup accomplishes getting good Spd and Ath and def onto the floor for my guards and SF. Maybe I should start Robertson over Stanley, but I like the extra Def, Per, and BH of Stanley over the much faster Robertson. This setup also gives me a weak PG in terms of BH and Pass.

I know I have issues with this team (need more Ath in my Bigs, need more bigs, need a true PG)  but they are a work in progress.

I want to RS Woodruff, he is no where ready to play but with High-High in LP and Reb given a year to develop he should be a nice player later.

Not sure where to go with this lineup, it needs work. If anyone is willing to help with a suggestion that would be appreciated.

1. I'd scrap the HCP and go straight MM.  You don't have the depth or stamina for any press imo.  You'd be better off devoting all your minutes to MM and getting proficient at that.

2. Woodruff looks more like a SF to me until he can get that REB up beyond 45 (at a minimum), imo.  Maybe keep that in mind when recruiting next season.

3. Here's how I would set the depth chart:

PG:  Christensen, Schmalz, Stanley, Huffman/Lewis (pick one?)
SG:  Schmalz, Stanley, Robertson, Huffman
SF:  Maynard, Huffman (if offense needed)/Stenger (if defense needed), the other one not listed #2 here b/w Huffman/Stenger, Stanley
PF:  Carpenter, Balch, Maynard, Stenger
C:  Bach, Balch, Carpenter

Basically I'd see if your 3 senior guards can carry the PG/SG slots.  Stanley is kind of slow and unathletic, but his PE and IQ could be quite useful off the bench with some offensive punch.  Schmalz and Christensen may have to flip-flop the positions I have them at if you're not getting good production on offense.  Maynard looks too good to keep out of the starting lineup to me, but he's also be good as a backup PF for you.

PG-  Huffman, Stanley
SG-  Christiansen, Lewis
SF-  Maynard, Schmaltz
PF- Carpenter, Balch
C-  Bach Maynard, Balch
